2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Energy and Natural Resources
Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service

Mr. Mark Griffin:

You can. Normally, these consultancy reviews or value for money consultancy reviews, at least in preceding years, would be overseen and undertaken by a retired civil servant for a nominal fee. I will check the cost in regard to the value for money review in 2013. The substantial cost under that subhead would have been consultancy services. Some of that work was services contracted out to undertake internal audits in the Department. We have the ESRI doing research in the communications and energy areas.
